Hi there, Crafties In South Africa, September is Heritage month, (yeah, I'm a bit late 🙈) with Heritage Day on the 24th. We are diverse groups of people, so there are many ways to celebrate it. I designed a small, basic mandala to celebrate my Khoi heritage. The Khoi people were the first people the Europeans encountered when they landed at Table Bay. My design is called Krotoa. She was called Eva by the Dutch and was servant / interpreter to the Van Riebeecks. Eventually she married Pieter van Meerhof in 1664 and they had children, but Krotoa's life was hard and troublesome. I used two colours, trying to show how she had to deal with being Khoi but living an European lifestyle.
